I love this block and look forward to making this project to completion. Thanks for sharing.

The clearly slotted trimmer makes squaring the half-square triangles quick and accurate.

I missed this before, haven’t even seen the video and I’m already excited. Thanks for the free pattern.

[AnitaSouthall]

Already subscribed but will work on this for next year 😂

You had me at "layer cake" because I have a darling Christmas layer cake and it was screaming for a pattern!

[Dasburyfamily]

Thank you Hailey for your tutorial today. I also have a layer cake in holiday colors and I’m excited to use it. After watching your first tutorial I knew I wanted to follow your channel. Your instructions were easy to understand and follow your hand movements too. I purchased your full pattern. I’m excited about this journey together. 🌸🩷🩷🩷🌸

Thank you for the free pattern. I just purchased and downloaded the upgrade patterns. Thanks also for the tutorials.

Love this pattern and idea. I would try to change the direction of the candy canes so they were directional. But that is me.

[MissChiefFan]

Thank you so much! I’ve never done a QAL before, and I’ve been searching for the right pattern for a Christmas lap quilt.

[lorieshay]

Well, I wasn't going to sew along and just watch every day... Now I think I have to do this one! Thanks Hailey!

[mariadiebert]

Thank you so much, Hailey. Your kindness and generosity are so appreciated. I love this design. Happy holidays 🎄

[davidbell]

Thank you Hailey ❤
Can’t wait to get started on this project 😊

[glendahyde]

Beautiful fabrics & love the pattern! Thank you.

[shellyboyle]

So excited about this project!!! Such a cute pattern! I was hoping you would explain the benefits of purchasing the $7 pattern.

[anneshirley]

It's going to be fun 😊 thanks so much

[nancynorman]

I love it! I haven't wanted to start any big quilting projects during this busy season but I have a fat quarter bundle that I'm dying to pop open and love these simple classic blocks so I'm hooked! Thanks!

[denisenash]

I'm excited to make this and will get my friendship star completed this evening. Pretty sure I've overlooked your fabric amounts for this quilt. I looked over the downloaded pattern yesterday and couldn't find it, and it doesn't seem to be on this video. I'm using Christmas colored scraps, but want my background to be consistent. Thanks.

[veronicavega]

How much background yardage do we need for this?
